Summary: avoid it
Review: terrible picture quality and dang eject tape message has made me very unhappy. Unfortunately, Sharp is tough to deal w/ and Amozon can't help after 30 days.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ...Very Good, Sharp Camcorder Very Bad
Review: Just as others said....while using my first tape, this camcorder gave me a message saying video head is clogged and requires cleaning....So, don't get attracted by the main-in rebate. It is not worth it.

Summary: great service from amazon, shame of sharp
Review: This camera worked great at the begining, but just as what others said, problems like pixelation, blank spots across the screen.
and started getting worse during playback. obviously there is a serious design problem with the VL-WD255U based upon many user's similar complaints.
But the amazon service is really great, they send me the replacement right after i called them in express package. Thanks
I hope this time i am not so bad luck, otherwise i will turn to sony.

Summary: Nice price, But...
Review: The camera is easy to use and I had no problems recording indoor in different light levels. Playback is another story. The first 20 minutes of a TDK tape played fine; good sound, good picture. Then random 'tiling' or mozaic-type lines began to run across the screen and the sound was lost during that effect. The camera wasn't being jerked around as I was only taping children opening presents. This was a big disappointment because of the large family gathering for the holidays. I'll try a different tape at my sister-in-law's baby shower, and if it happens again, it's going back. Maybe I can trade up for a panasonic?...

Summary: Heads get dirty fast, unable to view tape
Review: The head seems to get dirty when one views a tape for more than 20 minutes. I cleaned the head once and when it became dirty again before it finished even one tape, I returned it. Don't waste your time on this camera, you will only be disappointed.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Heads dirty fast
Review: The camcorder heads become dirty very quickly upon viewing a recorded tape and need to be cleaned. Once cleaned, they dirty after about 20 minutes of viewing a recorded tape. The other features are fine, but what good are they with dirty heads?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Please do not buy this item!
Review: The price is too good to be true! I had the same problem as many others. After taking video just once, on playback, the picture went bad and I got a small red x which apparently meant the heads were dirty. I literally had 10 minutes of video on the tape! After reading other reviews, I packed back up and returned it!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Beware!
Review: Unfortunately I have the same story as many buyers. Bought this product due to the high number of features for the price and had to send it back. Distortion, tape eating, etc, all in just 2 tapes and one week.

I read several reviews on this site and others that were quite good before purchasing it, but I too believe there must be some kind of quality issue with this camera.

Maybe you'll get lucky........but I'm not taking the chance again on a Sharp. I'm spending a little more and buying another brand.

Summary: If it comes back in stock, dont buy it.
Review: Yes it has good features for the price, but... Cheaply put together and poor quality results. Mine broke after only one week, I had to pay shipping for repair and they have had it for 7 days (waiting for parts!).
Save your money and get a good brand...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'm really Happy with this guy...
Review: I'm a new users in view cam. I bought it from Amazon.com, after a few weeks of research on Viewcam. Comparing other product's price over the features it carry. I really enjoy using it, simple to use, easy to learn and this is really a great bargin!
